 * The article discussed many key points about depression as well as it causes and effects. However, a small section of the article discussed the historical legacy of depression in short detail. one way the article could be improved, is that it should've included more information on this topic. ?
 * In my opinion, the article stands as well-developed. With a few more adjustments and a bit more information, the article would be fully developed.
